In the main Peter departs from the standard flash photography that most speedway lens gurus rely on to “stop time” and capture that ultimate image.

Peter prefers to suffer the weight penalty and uses the “available light” technique where a hot shoe flash is swapped out for a massive lens that is capable of drawing in large amounts of ambient light.

This results in staggering detail and no dark shadow lines.

Peter has mastered the technique over many decades of both speedway photography and other forms of photography.

The majority of Peter’s craft is carried out in Western Australia, particularly at the high banked Kwinana Beach Perth Motorplex venue.

He has also travelled around the nation to cover major races and other forms of motorsport.

Known affectionately in some circles as “Straight Shooter”, Peter has an incredible knack of being in the right spot at the right time to capture a wide range of stunning shots.
